]]> I’ve been on a Mediterranean kick lately.  I am in love the flavors that encompass some of these countries such as Greece, Morocco and Spain.  There are actually 21 countries having a coastline on the Mediterranean, all with different flavor influences.  Some of my favorite tastes include garlic, mint, olive oil and olives, oregano, cumin, paprika, turmeric, saffron, anchovies, rosemary and thyme.  In particular I really love a spice blend called Za’atar with an Arabic influence.  It is usually thyme or a mix of thyme, oregano and marjoram combined with toasted sesame seeds and salt sometimes sumac is added.  In this dish I used it to season the chicken and it worked wonderfully!  I hope you enjoy these flavors as much as I do!  I served this with some jasmine rice mixed with my homemade pesto recipe!
